public interface ReflectionConstructable

This is a marker interface for classes which can be loaded by reflection. Specifying that a class implements this interface commits the programmer to implementing a matching static createInstance() method in all derived (non-abstract) classes.

Due to Java's type erasure, only the number of arguments can be used to distinguish several implemented interfaces derived from ReflectionConstructable. Therefore, ReflectionConstructable1 to ReflectionConstructable10 have been created. If a class inherits ReflectionConstructable2 and ReflectionConstructable3, it must implement the appropriate two createInstance methods. If it shall be constructable using different parameters, it just can implement ReflectionConstructable4, if necessary with superset of the desired parameters.

Java does not allow an interface to enforce a static method. Therefore, a custom annotation processor ReflectionConstructableProcessor can be used to check for the correct implementation in the derived classes at compile time. However, this check is optional. If not implemented correctly, this could lead to runtime errors when loading a class via reflection which does not implement the correct static method.
